Every year on the 3rd March Bulgarians celebrates their independence and liberation from the Ottoman Rule. Last Tuesday was that day and 130 years years free of the yoke. The memorial picture here was centre stage when the formal celebrations took place in Yambol's Town Park. It was of course another public holiday and reason to celebrate and party on - And we all did.
Yambol is not the prettiest City in Bulgaria, but it does have a unique character which is now in the process of being captured by camera. What you see now in Yambol will be short lived in a world of change, especially with the EU strangling the heart and soul of Bulgaria's culture with directives and uniform regulations.

We in the U.S. celebrate with fireworks at night. Is it the same way in Bulgaria?
ReplyDeleteMartin i assume the choice of colours for the flowers represent the national flag?
ReplyDeleteBelated happy independence day! How did you celebrate?
ReplyDeleteFireworks, song, dance, food and drink all represented in the celebrations.
ReplyDeleteYes Mike! White Green and Red for that reason.
